Making History In Moto3 With 13th Finish At Mugello Circuit, Mario Aji: What A Confusing Weekend

JAKARTA - Indonesian racer, Mario Aji, made history in the Moto3 event. That was after the Honda Team Asia rider finished 13th at the Mugello Circuit, Italy, Sunday, May 29.

Starting from 23rd position, Mario Aji managed to perform several maneuvers to improve his position. This is his best achievement this season.

Mario Aji's achievement is a new record for Indonesian racers. This is the best finishing position ever achieved by an Indonesian racer in the Grand Prix motorcycle racing event.

Mario Aji's record beat his own record when he appeared in Moto3 Mandalika, last March. At that time, the 17-year-old man was able to finish in 14th position.

"A confusing weekend. Friday and Saturday, I didn't find a consistent rhythm. We haven't made any significant changes to the bike, and I just changed my mind to stay calm on Sunday," said Mario Aji in a written statement received by VOI.

"Finally, we achieved our target, to take points and make the team happy. This result is good for the team," he continued.

These results make Mario Aji more confident. He also feels optimistic that he can achieve better results in the next Moto3 race at the Catalunya Circuit, Barcelona, this weekend.

"I'm optimistic about next weekend in Barcelona, one of my favorite tracks," said Mario Aji.
